Congrats MS!

Following a worldwide celebration, Xbox One launched in 13 markets on Nov. 22 to great fanfare. The team is excited to confirm the launch of Xbox One was the biggest launch in Xbox history, with more than one million consoles sold through worldwide in less than 24 hours – surpassing day one Xbox 360 sales and setting a new record for Microsoft.
Xbox One is now sold out at most retailers. We are working to replenish stock as fast as possible to meet the unprecedented demand from our customers.

Gamers couldn’t wait to play Xbox One and check out new games like “Forza Motorsport 5,” “Dead Rising 3,” and “Killer Instinct.” In the last 24 hours:

Over 60 million zombies have been killed in “Dead Rising 3”

Over 3.6 million miles driven in “Forza Motorsport 5"

Over 7.1 million combos in “Killer Instinct”

Over 8.5 million enemies defeated in “Ryse: Son of Rome”

And, fans also found time for some exercise, with over 43.3 million Fit Points earned in Xbox Fitness.
“We are humbled and grateful for the excitement of Xbox fans around the world,” said Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy, Xbox. “Seeing thousands of excited fans lined up to get their Xbox One and their love for gaming was truly a special moment for everyone on the Xbox team. We are working hard to create more Xbox One consoles and look forward to fulfilling holiday gift wishes this season.”

Well congrats to MS on achieving the 1 million mark in under 24 hours, although they reached it quicker because the system launched in 13 different countries. Makes me wonder if Sony will hit another 1 million in Europe alone in 24 hours.

If you go to Target.com and enter the city and state for XBO Standard, they are available all over the place. It was kind of odd, MS shipped the day one launch units along with the standard launch units. Most of the day one units are gone but now there are standard launch units on lots of Target shelves so they must also be available pretty much everywhere else. There doesn't seem to be any huge demand.

Sold is sold. Until both consoles are readily available everywhere it doesn't matter if it's worldwide or one country. MS is constrained by how much they can produce.

Did everyone also conveniently forget that stores are holding back stock of systems for black Friday, as they do every year for the guarantees. You couldn't forget that since it's on the main PS4 forum:
